Natalie Jayne, an almost-always-barefoot fine art Virginia wedding photographer based in Richmond. When I’m not photographing weddings or running my business you can find me outdoors, eating allll the food (huge foodie), hiking in the Shenandoah Mountains, volunteering at a local animal shelter, or dreaming up my next road trip! I value experience in life more than anything else, so it’s important to me to create a balanced business that doesn’t control my life.
